Game 5: Packers @ Buccaneers - Sunday, October 18th, 3:25PM

[PinaMadness]

I don't understand why they are running to the outside with Vea out.

 

And as soon as I type that Williams goes up the gut for about 25.

[yourout]

That was not a hold.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Random aside: I've disliked for a long time that holding is a 10-yard penalty. Five seems much more fitting; it just seems like it completely destroys a drive too often. Usually you get a nice play wiped out, that + 5 yards seems enough.

[adambr2]

Jenkins has been having a rough stretch the last couple games.

[yourout]

Someone want to tell Joe buck that no one touched him till he was in the endzone so the knee makes no difference.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

IMO that is a penalty. He's standing in the endzone when Winfield attempts to make contact. At the 2, I can see letting that go. But Rodgers already has the ball and contact is made a yard or two deep in the endzone. Because it isn't a passing play you can't really justifying delivering that hit inside the endzone.

[wildcat83]

Heck of a start. Already had that TB defense on the field a long time.

[PinaMadness]

Gees, Buck. Rodgers wasn't touched so it doesn't matter if his knee was down.

[adambr2]

Buck, shut up about the knee, he wasn't touched before the knee.

Rodgers Celebration:

[adambr2]

I don't even know why they're reviewing this. Do they think it's a college football game?

[PinaMadness]

Well, that's news to me.

[young guns]

That is some stupid rule. I still don't really understand.

[yourout]

Well, that's news to me.

Me to.

If that was giving up then that was a late hit.

[adambr2]

How was he giving himself up? Couldn't you just as easily say he was diving for the goal line?

[MrTPlush]

Well, that's news to me.

Me to.

If that was giving up then that was a late hit.

 

That was my thought too. Cheap hit regardless and just dumb. It’s basically sacking a guy cause you are mad he is scoring a TD

Same

[adambr2]

Well, that's news to me.

Good point. You can't say he gave himself up and then say that wasn't a late hit.

 

At the end of the day I guess it would have made about 2 inches of field position difference, but it seems like 2 different interpretations of that play.

[PeaveyFury]

That’s a nonsense call. There is no way in the world Rodgers gave himself up as he was literally diving for the end zone.

[brewcrewdue80]

Well, that's news to me.

Me to.

If that was giving up then that was a late hit.

 

Yes and guy should be thrown from the game it was blatantly late if the rule is Rodgers is down.

 

Not that it'd matter. Crosby would just kick one through the FG posts.

[yourout]

Is it just me or have the special teams improved to the point you don't hold your breath everytime that is a kick.

[PinaMadness]

That’s a nonsense call. There is no way in the world Rodgers gave himself up as he was literally diving for the end zone.

No kidding. Why would he give himself up when he had an easy score?

[yourout]

Might take 40 to win this one again.

[PinaMadness]

Might take 40 to win this one again.

After one quarter, the Bucs are on pace to score zero points.

Ervin being back there has been a relief on the anxiety for sure. Shepard back there today with Ervin out and I get semi-queasy again.
